oh stella, old gal
it breaks my ever-lovin' heart today
to know
that you took
your last
zoom
down the 'boulevard'
of green-tree'd, blue-sky'd
life
who else
has been by my side
through all the laughter
tears
funerals
celebrations
kisses
the ditches
& unfortunate encounters
with springtime snowshower hydroplaning
or
keys
locked
inside
(dare I crawl through the trunk?)
the times you
saved
my
life
the songs
belted
(when perhaps you wished the windows to be open or the laryngitis
to kick in).
i will forever
love
chevrolet
not just
for a taj mahal song
but because you got me through 225,803 miles
of a beautiful life.
the good with the bad gal.
RIP to the independence of my youth!
(Stella = my 1997 Chevrolet Cavalier who took a knee today...)
